When I was a very small child and too afraid to leave my Mom to go to kindergarten my Mom (who knew I loved to create) sat me on the floor in the living room and said..."You are going to color when you go to school". Just knowing I could do something creative allowed me the freedom from fear of the unknown. It was my refuge and remains that today some 69 years later.
| My goal each holiday season is to turn the gallery into a hand-crafted gift shop filled with one-of-a-kind treasures. In the early years of the gallery before I became acquainted with all the brilliant artists featured in this year's Holiday Extravaganza, I would buy ornaments and gifts (mostly made in China) and though the gallery looked festive and beautiful there was a place in my heart that was missing the authentic energy I longed to share with my clients. |  Photo of my beloved new kitten Max Meoo...not the happiest Holiday Kitten but a very good sport! |
It is my great honor to present a lineup of visionaries who have spent many months creating the wonders that fill the gallery. My Motto in my "Angels In the Vineyard Book" is "By Hand is By Heart" and it remains true every day of my life as I am blessed to be surrounded by beauty throughout the Jessel Gallery. We offer free gift wrapping and personal service while you shop for quality, hand-crafted holiday décor, home goods, jewelry paintings and so much more.
Pictures speak so much more brilliantly than words so here are the artists participating in this year's two month long Show and Sale (click to enlarge each image).

| Max Meoo and Murphy True were buds right from the start They had a way of signaling a direct line from the heart Words were few and far between but smiles seem to evoke The fact that they could laugh and play and find a way to joke Max Meoo and Murphy True set out one day for France They'd heard that in this lovely place they could learn to dance Every night when lights were low in a hidden street cafe M & M would take the stance and begin a sweet sashay |   Max Meoo and Murphy True (clay dog by Cris Kelly) |
